Main St. and Woodbiise Avenue HOME COOKED DINNER 50c —Try Our 10c Sodas—* The Engineer Corps and the Signal Corps have special duties in keeping our Army going places- and in touch Jwith head- quarters. But they s-till are com- bat atms. This means that if they have to* they ban throw., down their slide rwles and their tele- phone instruments and trot out to show, the infantry '\how to throw lead at an enemy. The Coi-ps of Engineers is the arm that, furnishes the technical engineering; skill to the Army. It gets its ^practice in peacetime tamm^^TVj® Pother eT^pneenng^struc- tures. If there is any dirty Administrative job that needs doing we usual find an Army en- gineer assigned to get it done, 'for getting it done is the 'breath of life to an engineer. All you have to do is tell an engineer it can't \be done. He will then reach m his back pocket, pull out a slide rule and by the time you tave proved it t;an't be done, he has gone and finished it. • Functions of the Engineers A little problem ^ in river^ bridging is ]u%t meat. They have whole warehouses of fold- ing bridges. Just tell them the size river, and they tro't out some folding boats and steel sections, a few boards,'and the Army is on its way again, tanks, guns and. all. They dig tunnels, build buildings, move mountains, put roads where they ought to be, run railways, whip up power and light systems, furnish water, build defense systems. In fact, they are a very han(|y organiza- tion to have around. They can be nasty if someone asks them tg, for they conduct military . mining. That is, they build tunnels under where the enemy is sitting, and blow up the whole works.^They also blow; up bridgefe, roads, and railroads when necessaiy to- i hinder the enemy. Their duties are simple. They make naovement and sup- ply of ®ur own army easier, and make it just as tough as possible for the enemy. Just now they ^re engaged in building up our defense systems, providing buildfeigs and struc- tures for the Army, and adding to their supplies of materials and plant tools. Most of t|je require- ments of the Ehgineer Corps can be met ^from civilian construc- •tion supplies, and the Defense Advisory Commission is see- ing that they get them when they need them. -The Engineers are also in charge if the -camou- flage, hiding our fofces from the enemy by paint, branches of , trees; or anything else that is handy. The Signal Corps . The U. S. Signal Corps does not tell the Army what to do, but they fix it so the Army knows just what it is doing, which is just as important. When the general wants a little some- thing warjfee dona^ ^at news has^offi front wK^\ __Zing m hand,—and the orders have to get .there right side up, accurate and on time. There is the story about Rurik the Red coming south across the Baltic Sea back in the ninth cen- tury, with a fleet of 10,000 ships to whale the .tar out of the tribes on the southern shore. Well, it appears that Rurik didn't have telephone, telegraph, radio, mo- torcycles, airplanes, and homng pigeons such as our The first rneeting of the year of, the Northport branch of the League of Women Voters was held. Tuesday afternoon at the beautiful horhe of Mrs. Charles Pidgeon and Mrs. Jennie C. Dono- hue at Kings Park. Mrs. Harry Grimwade, president, was in the chair. Seventeen members were present. Considerable routine business was transacted. Dues for the year it was voted, after considerable discussion, will be increased to two dollars a year. Heretofore dues were one dollar, but it was pointed' out that members con- tributed ten cents at each meet- ing and since there are ten meet- ings a year, those who attend the meetings pay another dollar in the course of the year, so raising the dues to two dollars should be no hardship. The quota is $2.75 per member this year, leaving a balance of thirty dol- lars to be paid from the treasury, i The St^te Convention Mrsj.} Grimwade said will be held at Buffalo Oct. 17, 18 and 19 and all branches are urged to send as jnany delegates as possible.

COOK FUNNEL & COOK PHARMACY ?98 Main Street Phone 135 HUNTINGTON B elievihg that only through patriotic preparedness will this nation continue to hold its unique pt)sition as the sole important Democracy still at peace, with the world, the newly formed Na- tional Defense Organization of Huntington on Monday night launched plans Sor a citizens' mass meeting at the Robert K. Toaz Junior High School audi- torium on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 8:J5 p,-m. A comprehensive program' for the eo-ordination of all facilities withia the township available for emergency purposes was out- lined by Arthur Gwynne of Lloyd's Neck before a gathering of. more than 100 men prominent in fraternal, civic, educational and business life of the commun- ity, at the Hotel Huntington. Temporary\ officers were elect- ed and Dr. Russell Sammis named president of the organi- zation. Others named were Hi- lary Corwin, William Bradford, Arthur Gwynne, Howard Schow, vice-presidents; R. E. S. DeicTi- ler, executive .secretary; John Lockwood, secretary; and Addi- son Sammis, treasurer. Directors are: William Bradford, Hilary Corwin, R. E. Sl Deischler, S. A. Everett, Arthur ^ Gwynne, .John Lockwood, Joseph R. Moran, Stanley Rumbough, Addison Sammis, Dr. Russell Sammis, Howard Schow, John Toaz and Harold Street. . 'The movement, initiated t?y the Keymen Club, group of young business and professional men of Huntington in coopera- this position and Mrs. Marion H. Brett, chairman of the Govern- ment and Labor Department. Mrs. Alva Gierke, chairman of Government and Social Welfare Department, spoke to the meet- ing about the need of raising the age of jurisdiction in the chil- dren's court from 16 to 18 years. Mrs. Clerke said that young men indicted by* the grand jury are held in the Riverhead County jail with- adult criminals, which is a bad condition. After Mrs. Gierke's talk, the meeting voted that it was in favor of the prin- ciple as above stated. Mrs. Clerke will n®tify the State Chairman of her department of this action. Mrs. Calvin Van Pelt, chair- man; of Government and Admin- istration, spoke on Primaries, registration and the importance of enrolling. She urged enrolled voters to ^ exercise their • voting privilege 'by going to the polls that day, although there is no contest in an^ ©f the party pri- maries. Miss Mabel Moore, chairijaan of the department of foreign re- lations, sent a written report with a summary of world affairs to date in which the League is interested. Miss Moore called at- tention to a series of articles running in the Northport Jour- nal on \Our Defense' which were interesting' and informative, she said. ' • Our Barber Shop next door for men who care . 172 Main Street Tel. Northport 710 Same side as post offce. Fred Ostuni & Sons Beautieians \How a soldier lives in the field\ will be the theme of the military display which will be opened for free public inspection on Saturday afternoon (Sept. 21) at 2:30 o'clock at the Squad- ron \C\ Farm, Huntington. A large number of townspeople from the surrounding couiitry- side are expected to attend, in- cluding the leaders and members of the various local patriotic, civic and social organizations. Five Military Horse Races A series of five military horse- races will be . run off during afternoon. The races ate expect- to offer much keen competition as each entry consists of a horse and rider from the five different troops of the Brooklyn Units of the 101st Cavalry. With a number of National Guard regiments leaving for their year of field training this week, it is believed that the pub- lic will be particularly interested in seeing just how the boys live in the fifeld and the dfferent types of arms and equipment which is now being supplied for their training. Machine Giins On Display The Machine Gun Troop will display eight of the latest type Browning, heavy, calibre 30 ma- chine guns, which were received by them just this week. The guns will be shown in different posi- tions and ways in which they are used. At this exhibit, as well as at the others, soldiers will be on hand to answer all questions. Headquarters Troop will show a number of armoured vehicles equipped with several different kinds of automatic weapons, in- cluding .50 calibre machine guns, calibre .45 machine guns, and the light. Browing air-cooled calibre .30 machine guns. Model Kitchen and Hospital A model field kitchen in actual operation is expected to attract considerable interest. This is the exhibit of Troop \A\. Also a complete Field Hospital and lit- ter display will be set up by the Medical detachment. The pyramidal squad ten, home of the soldier in the field, and the shelter tent in which the sol- dier sleeps when the Army is on the niaxnh will be demonstrated ES Bodies Longer—Look Mor® Massive Running Boards Omitted; Other Changes Chevrolet, which led the in-^centrated near the ground by dustry in sales again .in 1940, makes its bid for continued pre- eminence, in 1941, with two ser- ies of new cars, in which modern streamline styling, and . larger, roomier bodies, combine with numerous mechanical improve- ments to. produce the finest Chevrolets ever built. The famous Chevrolet vacuum power shift, which created a sensation when introduced in 1939, IS standard on all models of both series, at no extra cost. Bodies are longer, wider, and much more massive looking. Their appearance mass is con- P-j-tXB^ s.pTX . ,, be in cirarge of the pyramidal tent display, while the shelter tent group will be supplied by Troop \B.\ Both these exhibits also will have the soldiers' full {field equipment layed out for field inspection. - Enlistment Information There will be an information center in charge of an officer who will answer all questions regarding enlistment in the 101st Cavalry as well as in the 51st In- fantry which is the designation of the State Guard regiment that will be organized immediately to take the place of the former unit when it receives its call into field service as the 101st Horse-Me- chanized Reconnaisance Regi- ment. As announced earlier thera well be no admission charge to either the display or the horse races. Also, parkng will be free and adequate to take care of all who attend.

KISSAM Phone Npt. 334 12 changes in body and fender con- tour, as well as by judicious use of decoration and trim. '^Yind- shields, rear windows, an.d'-\ up- per portions of sides of body are increased in slope and the tops of side windows are one in'ch'lower than in 1940. The cars' sleek appearance is heightened by the omission of running boards as well as by the use ©f concealed hinges on all doors and trunks the sole excep- tion being the rear deck door hinges of the coupes and cabrio- let. Sides of the body extend out- ward and downward noticeably farther than last year and the skirt of each door conceals a con- venient rubber-ribbed safety, step to facilitate entrance and egress. The safety and conven- ience provided by a running board are thus retained while the less desirable features are elim- inated. Dirt, water, snow and ice cannot accumulate upon the step because it is effectively sheltered under the flare of the door's lower adge. This not only makes the car easer to keep clean but assures a firm, dry footing to persons getting in and out. New and more massive-appear ing die-cast radiator grille frame' surrounding horizontal bars; new hood and front fenders from which the valley is entirely eliminated, dress the front end of the car. Sealed beam head- lamps, integral with front fee- ders are relocated for better appearance separate parking lamps of flush type are being set in the fenders just beneath. The grille refinements are es- pecially noteworthy. Replace- ment of stampings with die-cast- ings has made it possible to gain more pleasing detail of design and shape, as well as to heighten the durability of this unit. And as the lowering of the body crease line and body belt mould- ing tend to accentuate the car's lowness as viewed from the side, so do the heavier horizontal bars of the radiator grille emphasize lowness and width as it is vi'ewM from the front. The bumperj^als^o^^^^^butes to this InteriR^s are'rcomier as well as more luxurious. They embody numerous refinements, whose aggregate effect is to make these cars the equals, in riding com- fort, driving ease, and safety, of cars of far higher price. Their restful, roomy ease is apparent the moment the door is opened. Rear seats are lower, a change which not only makes for com-- fort, but also—by bringing pas- senger weight nearer the ground —contributes to stability and safety. There is greater room across the seat cushions, and also at elbow and shoulder Idvels. Footroom is more than ample, as before. Front seats are substan- tially wider, and are adjustable, and those in two-door models have divided type backs. The 1941 Chevrolets are offer- ed in two series. Special Deluxe and Master Deluxe. Knee-action suspension on both 1941 series is retained and refined at JSLO extra cost. Sport sedan, town sedan, five-passenger coupe and busi- ness coupe are available in both series. In addition, an improved five-passenger cabriolet with vac- uum-operated top, and a station wagon, are offered in the Special Deluxe, while two light duty commercial types, the coupe pickup and sedan delivery, are available in the Master Deluxe. is important for growing boys and girte; Especially to provide extra energy We also have PASTEURIZED MILK.
